Waiting for Bastian - AC winner 01/07/23

Sarah May, known to her friends as Squeaky, had agreed to meet Bastian at the abandoned gas station on the edge of town in the late afternoon. As the shadows lengthened and he did not arrive, Squeaky took the lantern from the rear of her Jeep and lit it. She was uneasy in the darkening station. Her Husky, Charles, got bored with waiting in the Jeep and came to keep her company. It began to snow.
